Time Out

It's a set-up as muddled as the sexual politics of this mortifying would-be comedy,

While it's very easy to eviscerate Chuck and Larry from an activist point of view, all one really has to do to slam the flick is look at the lazy, contrived writing and the traffic-cop direction by frequent Sandler accomplice Dennis Dugan.

Gone With The Twins

Rather tepid when it comes to challenging conventional depictions of homosexuality in a generic, comic environment.

Sometimes things just are what they are. And this is, quite simply, an irredeemably rotten movie.

The movie is so mindnumbingly dumb that I felt my brain cells draining away at such a level that by the merciful end I could no longer breathe on my own and now have to live on a respirator.
